SHALL WE BEGIN?
Pretty sure they already announced the next Takeovers is in the first week of June at full sail.
Which, come on...at this point, if you must do an Orlando takeover it should be in the Amway Center.

Fuck erbody but me
Probably meaningless to you guys but I thought this was pretty cool.
The Download shows will be like the ones at the Arnold Classic, just an extra attraction.
3 of the 5 announced arenas are 10,000+ capacity. I'd have thought the Liverpool one would be the Takeover if there is one, but my suspicion is they'll just do a TV taping at one of them, perhaps Dublin if Balor is still champ.

People Like Me, We Don't Play
Yeah, no London show is peculiar - I can only think that because there's a main roster special in September that they think they'll burn out that fan-base's enthusiasm/wallets.
Joe either needs to be called up or win the title because he deserves something for absolutely killing it in his role as monster. The visage of him covered with blood, murdering security and no-selling demons - awesome.

I personally found it to be more marred by the bad finish than the stoppages, but personally the stoppages got to be excessive for me. If after the first one or two Joe had just blown past them and said fuck it, they might actually have helped. But it got to the point that you knew every big spot was about to be followed not by wrestling, but by medics, and that sucked. Really hurt their efforts to lay the groundwork for the match.
Not a bad match by any means, but for me I preferred London.
Good Golly It's Ollie
Magical Girl
Did anyone else really frigging enjoy Corbin's showing? I've grown very attached to the character at this point. The butthurt guy who always gets passed over for indy geeks works supremely well in the present WWE culture, he's sort of an Anti-Bryan.
Aries exudes arrogance, which is great and he's full of charisma, but I find it hard to actually root for the guy, whereas Corbin - I almost feel like I know him and respect how hard he's been fighting for some recognition the last few months. Presumably it's a good sign that some of the crowd were also cheering for Corbin (not that Aries was getting a bad reaction himself). I actually loved the finish and it totally fits Corbin to lose matches like this. When he finally wins on his terms it will really mean something.

I've said before that Corbin, on the mic, as a character, and in the ring, is exactly what Roman Reigns should be instead.

Isn't that the dance Jacqueline did at the HOF?

Make America Rassle Again
It's like he's dabbing, but cooler.
That pop Nakamura got was insane. The replay did not do it justice. That convention center was going nuts. Same for Balor.
So very glad that American Alpha picked up the win. Ticking the clock down before that main roster call up. This team better not be booked & wasted like The Ascension were. Could you imagine if they stayed that legit killer team from NXT & had a match with Gable\Jordan?

Problem with the Ascension is that their ring work was always kind of shit. Those guys were begging to be exposed at some point.
JBL didn't do them any favours either.
They've improved dramatically working D-shows. But Gable and Jordan clearly rock now and suffer from none of Ascension's flaws.
The only real risk is Vince looking right over Gable's head and seeing nothing but money in Jordan as a singles guy.

Well there is money in Jordan but I think there's plenty in Gable. As long he spots it in one, he can't be so blind to not see it in the other.
One thing about Swagsuke, the only taunt I liked was when he flung himself back on the ring ropes. Beyond that, it seemed like he being overly creepy and too deliberately weird. He'll need to cut down the strikes and throw suplexes or something. He seems to have too much about him to be Itami Mk II.

Heresy!
I know. He's Japanese, that's what he does!
